Rough Country pocket lights - anyone installed?

[Dadsquatch]

Anyone install these without the factory AUX switches? What does the switch look like? I assume there's two settings, one for the DRL and one for the fog lights? Trying to debate between these and the Oracle fog lights. I do like the added DRL function these ones have.

The switch does have two settings like you are assuming.

What beam would you get to use as actual fog lights on road?

Has anyone installed these yet?

Yes, installed on my son's Bronco and mine.

Here are important details (RC instructions and FAQ website are not accurate):
A few pointers to start. 1. Splice the 3 light pods wiring harness to 1 for both driver and passenger sides. Then snake the passenger side wiring harness above the bumper and up behind the driver side headlight and near the battery 2. Splice the LH and RH wires together near the aux switches and firewall. It looks like you will not have enough wire to go from the passenger side but you should. If not, it’s no big deal - you will just have to run a longer single wire to the aux switches. 3. Splice wires to aux switches at firewall. I used aux switch 6 for Amber DRLs and aux switch 5 for bright white lights.

Make sure you plug and lock the wires into each pod before running the wires so they don’t come apart.

Also, the blue wires are the white lights and the white wires are amber DRLs. Black is ground of course. The RC wiring is a little confusing and the FAQ section on their website is not accurate about the wiring for aux switches.

Oh, and terminate the ground wires to the body just above the aux switch wires.

I used butt connectors like these and a heat gun.

I also found some cheap amber lens covers on Amazon for the pods to mix up the lighting for better visibility in dusty or snowy conditions. https://a.co/aoSmy2U

Finished product:

I hope that helps.

I had mine installed by a place and they charged me 300 or 350. I love the way they look with the amber drls. All my drls are on Aux 6, fogs are on Aux 2 and ditch lights are Aux 3

Just installed this morning - not too difficult and definitely a novice with the wiring.
Best advice would be make sure you have everything you need and not have to run to Lowe’s in the middle of it…
Love the look and plenty bright, especially with the ditch lights.
